Sharing a card for this week's Muse challenge. When I create a project based on an inspiration photo I usually start by choosing what I am drawn to by the piece. In the case of this week's Muse Virginia Lu I was drawn to every element and I couldn't help but want to do exactly what she did. LOL
So I had to try again, I loved the colours and I loved the matting treatment. That was what I set out to do. I decided that Ii didn't want to stamp an entire background just part of it, but it didn't look right matted on the white. So now I was derailed and didn't want to start over. I switched up the matting and was happy with the results. A little tip: If you are stamping that final image on your focal panel and it doesn't stamp well try using your Copics to touch it up. I am also submitting this to the CASual Fridays Birthday Base challenge and the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge.
All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.

ReplyDeleteHello Tracey,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about "inspiration," from the MUSE...I personally am trying to see this challenge site differently from others that usually CASE a sketch, use a color theme etc. I also try to pick out elements. It is a challenge for me not to just CASE it right of the bat. Your card was a perfect example of inspiration- TFS!
What a fabulous, fresh, CAS take on the Muse card, Tracey, love the bold sentiment! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove how this came out, Tracey! Wonderfully creative use of Virginia's inspiration!
